ASK ANY OF FIREFOX'S avid supporters and they'll tell you it's the fastest browser around, true or not. Well, the INQ's stumbled on a little tweak that's easy to do and sends the browser into overdrive.

All you've got to do is type "about:config" into your address bar, wait for it to load, then alter the following entries: change "network.http.pipelining" to "true", "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" and lastly "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 30, meaning it will be able to make 30 requests at once.

Don't bother if you're one of the unlucky sods still without broadband, but if you are, then give it a shot. I've tried it out and it works like a charm. Thanks to forevergeek.com! ų

==================================================

Tried it here at work. Seems to help some. *shrug*

It wasn't something I noticed a dramatic differance with, but I will admit some

you can also set browser.turbo.enabled to true it will speed up things and reduce the memory used

Here's a nice firefox extension I found at the evedev site

http://www.chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/

Works well for developers

Some other very worth while extensions are:

BBCode - Adds BBCode to the context menu for forums.
BookmarkSynchronizer - Sync your bookmarks across all your computers. VERY USEFUL!
downTHEMall! - Download all images on a page based on their extension and other settings.
AutoMarks - Use the location bar to autocomplete URLs from your bookmarks! VERY USEFUL!
Image Zoom - Adds zoom functionality to images
Tiny URL - Easily create TinyURLs of the page your viewing from with in firefox
CopyURL+ - Copy the URL of the current page along with the title or the selected text.
FirefoxView - If you still use IE sometimes this will allow you to select a link to open in Firefox.

Sorry, I don't have time right now to grab the links for all of them so you'll need to google their names.

my favorites:

Disable targets for downloads - It no longer opens a new firefox window to download files

Plain Text Links - if there is a url that isn't hyperlinked, you can just highlight it and open it in a new tab

Adblock - Best Ad Blocker Ever

Webdeveloper

Tabbrowser preferences - preferences for tabs

You can already do this - select the text and drag it into the tab bar.

*uninstalls extension*

Firefox 1.0.2 is out for those who don't know

I couldn't miss the huge orange circle at the top of my skin... lol...

After upgrading check your Extensions for updates as many are being updated as well.

Firefox growth is checked

"The growth in popularity of Firefox appears to have been checked for the time being. For the first time since its November 2004 release, the Web browser's share of total Internet usage fell."

What's up with that? Word of security exploits slowing down adoption?

beta 2 of IE 7 is out today.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/default.mspx

FireFox 1.5.0.1 released.

I downloaded and began using it last night - no major bugs noted yet

beta 3 is out.

One thing I am liking about IE7 is that when you minimize it to the tray, it releases memory back into the wild. I have had 13 tabs open all day now and the memory was up to 173mb I minimized it to the bottom and memory went down to 11mb Right now memory is at 55mb after pulling it back up.

Firefox is using more than 66mb after being open less than 7 minutes.

I fear that these improvements with IE7 will either make FFox listen to the outcry of memory usage, or break the cammel's back...
